Chapter 1378 Thorough Preparation


    With everything well-prepared, Roxanna held the report and the gifts as she arrived at the entrance of


    Quill Corporation''s office building. Standing there, she looked up at the towering building and let out a


    sigh.


    Such a stark contrast.


    However, the research center was no slouch either. While it might not have such towering buildings, the


    area was quite spacious, and the staff dormitories were also pleasant.


    Roxanna nodded to herself affirmatively, but her confidence was soon shattered.


    But then again, they have money.


    Shaking her head, she stopped overthinking it and marched into the Quill Corporation office building


    with her things. Having made an appointment beforehand, the receptionist recognized her and led her


    to the dedicated elevator, ensuring she got in before pressing the button.


    Taking a deep breath, Roxanna watched as the floor numbers increased. Her nerves started to get the


    better of her, much like the first time they had met.


    Back then, she had admired him, never imagining he was this formidable.


    Anxiety gnawed at her as she worried that this encounter might leave a negative impression on him,


    jeopardizing the potential coboration. If it turned out her words had caused any harm, she would


    never forgive herself.


    "Miss Miller, wee. Mr. Quill has been waiting for your arrival." The secretary smiled and respectfully


    informed her upon seeing her.


    Roxanna smiled and nodded in response, following the secretary toward Isaac''s office. Along the way,


    many employees either discreetly observed her or tantly stared. Roxanna couldn''t fathom the


    reason behind it; she was merely here for a business discussion.


    Did Quill Corporation''s employees not encounter this kind of situation before?

    Rolling her eyes internally, Roxanna held her head high and walked into the office without feeling the


    least bit bothered by their scrutiny.


    "Good day, Mr. Quill," she greeted as she entered the office. To her surprise, Isaac was nowhere to be


    seen. The window was slightly ajar, allowing a gentle breeze to rustle the pages of the documents on


    the desk.


    "Mr. Quill?" Roxanna called out again, unable to locate Isaac''s presence. She didn''t dare to look


    around; she stood still and called out softly.


    Behind her, Isaac stood silently, holding a cup of coffee as he observed her docile demeanor. A faint


    smile curled up on his lips.


    Roxanna called out several times but received no response. Given the circumstances, she didn''t dare


    to search around. She had heard that a CEO''s office held many confidential matters, and if she


    misced something important, she couldn''t bear the trouble it might bring to the research center.


    "Miss Miller, look behind you. You won''t find me if you keep searching that way," Isaac finally said,


    deciding not to tease her further. He walked to a chair in front of his desk and took a seat.


    Feeling a mix of anxiety and exasperation, Roxanna watched Isaac calmly seated before her. Her


    irritation red up, but she suppressed it.


    Was he there all along? She had called out so many times, and he just pretended not to hear and


    watched her make a fool of herself?


    Raising an eyebrow, Isaac looked at her, curious to see if this would provoke her.


    Seeing the nonchnt expression on Isaac''s face caused Roxanna to swallow her anger. No, she


    couldn''t afford to get angry now. If she did, all her efforts of the past few days would be in vain.


    Taking a deep breath, she mustered a gentle smile and gracefully maintained herposure. "Mr.


    Quill, there''s something I''d like to discuss with you today."


    Isaac was slightly surprised by how calmly Roxanna took it. He had wanted to test her to see if he


    could rile her up.


    "Sure, have a seat. Miss Miller, it must be tiring to stand," Isaac replied with a faint smile, his eyes


    holding a yful glint.


    With that, Roxanna followed Isaac''s suggestion and took a seat. She looked at him, momentarily


    dazed. He was quite different from how the rumors had painted him. He was actually a cunning and sly


    fox, yet he was rumored to be aloof and unapproachable.


    That was a gross misjudgment.
